Reinventing the Rooster

"It wasn’t an urge to play God that prompted Stephen Alcorn
to reinvent the rooster, the cow, dog, owl, frog, tiger and even the
Himalayan yak. It’s more a case of łthe divine discontent of the
truly creative mind" that bars him from repeating what has been
done before. In his prints, with Medici-like indulgence, Alcorn has
permitted himself every whim. The plates are saturated with texture, the
borders are bursting with design themes and the animals themselves are
invested with heroic and magical powers. The cow is capable of infinite
pales of milk, the frog will turn into a prince momentarily, the valiant
horse carries his knight to victory, the cat can cast spells and make
sad princesses smile."
